00:00Welcome along to your weekend weather update from the Met Office.
00:03There's an old saying, the weekend is a long time in meteorology and this one will end very differently to
00:09how it starts.
00:10It will start, certainly across most of England and Wales, pretty close to freezing.
00:14A cold start with a fairly extensive frost temperature in rural areas down to minus three, minus four.
00:21Further north, not quite as cold on Saturday morning as it will be on Friday morning.
00:26A bit more cloud around here and a bit more breeze as well.
00:29If you take a look at the big pressure pattern, you can see fat area of high pressure sitting over
00:34the UK.
00:35But more isobars across the north means there's a bit more breeze, which will stop temperatures falling quite so far.
00:40This area of low pressure, that's the one to watch.
00:43That will be changing things up by the time we get to Sunday.
00:46But first of all, let's get through Saturday.
00:48We've already seen it's a cold start, certainly a largely sunny start across England and Wales.
00:53But there will be more cloud for northwest England, southern Scotland with some showers here.
00:57And the breeze bringing more cloud and some showery rain into western Scotland.
01:01And then we've got a weather front that is slowly creeping south across the northern Isles, across the western Isles,
01:07bringing a pretty wet Saturday morning here.
01:09Some heavy bursts of rain.
01:11A few showers early doors for northern Ireland, but they should be clearing through in many places looking dry and
01:16bright for most of Saturday afternoon.
01:18But look where the winds are now coming from, starting to pick up from the south.
01:22So, yes, light winds overnight will allow that frost.
01:25By the time we get to the afternoon, those southerly winds, certainly in the south, that means we could see
01:31temperatures just starting to pick up a little bit.
01:33Still a cold day for many, six or seven Celsius, because much of central and eastern England.
01:38But in the south could get to double digits.
01:40Further north, behind that weather front, the winds are coming in from the north.
01:44So the colder air is trying to push back in here.
01:47And we're going to have a bit of a scrap on Saturday night between the colder air pushing in and
01:51that weather front sitting around the milder air further south,
01:54hitting that and generating potentially some snow over the hills of northern Scotland.
01:59It's a bit of uncertainty about how much we're going to see.
02:02And it could, at least for a time, come down to a lower level.
02:05So that's something we need to keep our eye on, a bit of snow over the hills of Scotland.
02:09Nothing unusual, of course, for the middle part of November.
02:11But we will see rain coming into Northern Ireland at times, again, for most of England and Wales, staying dry
02:16on Saturday evening.
02:17But it will be turning cold pretty quickly over these central and eastern parts where the winds remain light.
02:24Then more of a change.
02:25We're heading to Sunday.
02:26That low I talked about earlier, just nudging closer and closer and closer.
02:29And then these weather fronts starting to edge in as we go through Sunday,
02:33joining forces with that weather front across northern Scotland,
02:36meaning the rain here likely to linger, but also meaning it will be a milder start.
02:42Temperatures generally above freezing in many towns and cities to start Sunday.
02:47But still, certainly some pockets of frost likely over eastern parts of England where we have some clearer skies.
02:52A real mishmash then for Sunday.
02:54A wet day for Scotland with some snow over the hills.
02:57As I mentioned, need to watch that.
02:59Wet weather for a time for Northern Ireland spreading into northern England.
03:02And then some showers, bands of showers coming in around the low pressure.
03:06You can see the winds circulating around it here across the south.
03:10Some areas across eastern England may stay dry and may stay bright for much of the day.
03:14But elsewhere, I say a very different day to Sunday.
03:17We've still got that contrast in the winds coming up from the south in the south.
03:21It means it'll be much milder here.
03:23Could get into the teens by the end of the day.
03:26But those northerly winds bringing in that colder air across northern Scotland.
03:29So, though it may turn a bit drier here by the end of the day, it is also going to
03:33turn a little bit colder.
03:35And where we've got that clash, still, as I say, the risk of some snow over the hills here.
03:40So, plenty going on as we go through this weekend.
03:42If you get any good pictures of frosts or the sunshine or indeed any snow across the hills of northern
03:48Scotland,
03:48then do send them in to us at weatherpix at metoffice.gov.uk.
